“…Plasma etching is a process that matters for microstructures manufacturing in both scientific and industrial communities [1,2], which can be widely applied in various devices (such as microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) [3,4], capacitors [5,6], metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) [7,8], and memory devices [9,10]) and device related processes (such as advanced packaging [11,12] and device isolation [13,14]). In detail, MEMS gyroscope based on the Coriolis force principle contains parallel plate capacitor accelerators in two independent directions, and the higher depth/verticality of the silicon microstructure can increase the 4 Contributed equally to this work.…”
